Farmerboy72 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 The old combine performed well this year. Finished corn today with snowflakes hitting the windshield! Yields for me ranged anywhere from 170-230 Bu/acre on corn. You can tell which varieties handled the summer stress better. Soybeans were in the 65-70 Bu range. Very satisfied with this year's results Had to have a celebratory beer when I got in tonight! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH Forever Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Beans are down, yielded very well. Corn is yielding well but not drying down real fast. Going to be cold tonight, low 20’s, but back to 70 by Friday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 We didn't get the rain forecasted for today or yesterday yet. I called this morning to let the trucker know I had another load ready to send. He didn't think they would be able to get a load today from me. We kept getting ok weather so I got out of the grain drill from planting winter wheat and got in the combine. I now have 4 gravity wagons, two grain carts and the bin on the combine full . Ran out of time or I would have tried filling a truck yet. Everything will need to be transferred to a truck for sending it away. Maybe less than 30 acres of beans to harvest yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reichow7120 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 We are no where near done. We are down to 25 acres of beans yet to go. Would actually have finished them Sunday but the grain head broke and we wont have the parts til tomorrow. It rained some yesterday, drizzling on and off today with steady rain later today and drizzly tomorrow so doubt We get the beans ran til this weekend. Started running corn since we can't finish beans. Corn is yielding very well and surprisingly dry. Pulled corn out of the field at 18%moisture. After 17 months of hassel we have a fully functional new to us dryer at the setup at my house. Been a real PITA. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you have setup for continuous flow 320 bushel. It can be ran as batch or continuious flow. Actually we we are running as batch because of how we unload into the bin. The stream of corn coming out into a 8 inch auger wouldn't be enough to prevent damage and that auger would be rattling away with a smaller amount of corn in it. Nice thing is enen in batch mode you load and unload at the same time reducing the idle time. It was a heck of a step up from the Farm Fans AB120 we had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Finished the beans today. https://youtu.be/Nvf47whfwiw looking at one of my favorite hunting areas . I need to consolidate beans out of some gravity wagons into the second grain cart in the morning so I can fill a truck when it's available 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmall1066 Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 We have 400 acres of beans left, and all the corn, which is around 600 acres. Talking high wind, and nasty storm chances Sunday night in to Monday morning, I hope that’s wrong!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Could have had beans done by tomorrow if our bean head wouldn’t have broke down, and the dealership p*ssed away 4 days this week working on it! Major lack of communication between mechanic, parts counter, and service writer! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitty Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Loaded up the last beans today for the first year we have grown them. I'll ask tomorrow to see what total weight we had for an estimate yield. Probably be over 36 bushel for all the stuff we harvested . Not really bad for our area although I want to improve it some in other years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even August rain doesn’t seem to always make for better yields, they just do what they want here?! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerFixEmUp Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Finished my corn last Friday. Now I'm doing some disc chiseling and rented this New Holland and a disc ripper for some more fields. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichow7120 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Finished this afternoon at 4. Just need to finish drying. Then cleanup and put away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall1066 Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Got 60 acres of corn done, and last night the clean grain elevator chain decided to walk off the job!! First 50 acres came off at 16-18% moisture, and 203 bpa dry! Have no idea where that came from?! The field we were working on last night is coming off at 14-15.5% moisture, might do 195? Will know when we get up at going again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
